Cheltenham Festival

[Pedigree Ann]

I haven't been paying attention to the jumps back in GB this year because of one thing or another. But I got a notice from Racing Post to pick my stable for the Festival contest so went to their site and had a look at the entries and the form. I saw that my favorite from last year, Denman, had only had one race since last March and that he had lost it! A glance at the racechart told me that this was the first start since he had had heart surgery in the interim.

Heart surgery?!?! Anybody know the full story? What a terrible thing to happen to such a talented chaser; it could ruin him for good.
